Chris Hinze. Fragments of a Path at BLMK: An Exhibition Between Sound, Space and Image

At the Brandenburg State Museum for Modern Art in Cottbus, Chris Hinze will open an exhibition on May 8, 2026, that combines painting, graphics, sculpture, and installation into a rich artistic experience. The two-part presentation leads into an experiential space where architecture, nature, landscape, and sound intersect. ([blmk.de](https://www.blmk.de/programm/chris-hinze/))

Between Spatial Installation and Overview of Works

In Machine House 1, visitors encounter the new, site-specific spatial installation Room of Silence. At the Switch House 3, a classic museum perspective opens onto images, sculptures, and works in various techniques. This complementary curation transforms the exhibition into a precise exploration of works between contemporary art and artistic biography. ([blmk.de](https://www.blmk.de/programm/chris-hinze/))

Sound, Material and Aesthetic Experience

Chris Hinze has been working as a freelance artist since 1992, combining sculpture, installation, graphics, painting, and performance. His artistic language revolves around archaic forms of life, mythological motifs, as well as the tension between man and nature. It is these themes that lend the exhibition a quiet intensity, where materiality, spatial effect, and sound become a concentrated aesthetic experience.

An Artist Between Music and Visual Arts

Hinze was born in 1969 in Cottbus, co-founded the art house sans titre in Potsdam in 2009, and is still connected to the band Sandow. This dual anchoring in music and visual arts also shapes the exhibition: It conceives art not as a rigid object, but as movement, resonance, and transformation. For the audience, this results in a multifaceted artistic experience with high cultural education. ([chrishinze.de](https://www.chrishinze.de/about/))

The BLMK as a Suitable Place for Modern Art

The Brandenburg State Museum for Modern Art has a significant collection of modern and contemporary art in Cottbus and Frankfurt (Oder) and is open in Cottbus from Tuesday to Sunday from 11 AM to 7 PM. The diesel power plant is accessible via elevators and is thus well-suited for a relaxed museum visit. ([blmk.de](https://www.blmk.de/))

Chris Hinze. Fragments of a Path promises an exhibition that connects sensibility and reflection: Anyone who wants to experience the power of installation, graphics, and sculpture in a museum setting should certainly visit this presentation live in Cottbus.
